 Daisy.) 



A pretty little 

 plant bearing 

 charming Cin- 

 eraria-like flow-

 foliage is finely 

 cut and very 

 pretty, and the 

 plant is a free 

 bloomer, blossom-

 seed. It grows to 

 a height of from 

 6 to 10 inches, and 

 is pretty for bed- 

 ding, pots or rustic 

 work. Half hardy 

 annual. Mixed.

A AS 



Bird of Paradise. 

 Bird of Paradise (Poinciana Gillesi). 



An attractive plant, with large golden-yellow flowers. The flow- 

 ers are produced in large compact trusses, from which the crimson 

 stamens spread out in a peculiar, fan-shaped way, very striking 

 and showy. The foliage is also very beautiful and highly decor- 

 ative, similar to the acacia. Greenhouse perennial, except in the 

 South, where it is hardy. Pkt., ij. cts. 



Balloon Vine. 



A rapid growing, annual climber. It bears email white flow- 

 ers, not particularly showy, but the vine grows rapidly and 

 makes a fine screen, and bears curious, inflated seed pods, like 

 small balloons, making it both desirable and interesting. 



Pkt., 3 cts.
